Sustainability

Stockland recognises that it has a significant role in the development of sustainable communities of the future. For us, sustainability is about ensuring we leave the communities where we operate, and the environment that they enjoy, in great shape for future generations. We approach this by bringing the voice of our stakeholders into how we work and how we deliver sustainable shopping centres which operate efficiently and minimise the impact on the environment.

Stockland Enviro Bags

A Stockland Environmentally Friendly Bag can carry a lot of karma. Stockland's Environmentally Friendly Bags help reduce the 6.9 billion plastic bags used by Australians every year. Our Stockland Environmentally Friendly Bags are available from Centre Management and only cost $2.50. Not using them costs the earth.

Stockland Sustainability

We have a strong commitment to managing and benchmarking our performance and use of environmental rating tools across our assets and developments. So much so that it has become part of the way we develop all of our Commercial Property assets. We require all our shopping centre developments to achieve a minimum of 4 stars certification for ‘Design’ and ‘As Built’ ratings.

We currently have the highest number of Green Star rated shopping centres in Australia. In FY09 we business committed to a 20 per cent reduction in energy and carbon intensity in Commercial Property by FY14. We continued to deliver energy efficiency through a strong focus on management.

We have achieved a 23 per cent improvement to date against FY09 levels across Commercial Property and exceeded our FY14 target. Energy efficiency reduced by 16 per cent and carbon intensity levels reduced by 17 per cent.
